If your going to make the trip out for Christmas week at least stay for NYE, it is very crowded but the NYE celebration is worth it in my opinion even though most days of that week will reach capacity

If you have other options, I would avoid it. 20-23 will be manageable, 24th till after the new year is crazy. We did the 23-30th one year and never again, it was crowded and people were extra rude, and it's one of the most expensive times. - Andrea84

we did Spring Break a couple years ago....and that was CRAZY! Is it similar to that kind of crowd? - ncjal 221.8 #33 5:29PM

We have done Thanksgiving the last 3 years and it's crowded. We were able to do almost everything we wanted. My son was in high school and we didn't want him to miss school. All the Christmas decor was up and it's beautiful. - disneycm

that is what we are thinking too. We don't want the kids to miss too much school. (they will be in 7th, and 11th grades) - ncjal 221.8 #33 4:05PM

We had a great time and would definitely do it again. 😀 - disneycm 623.3 #9 4:56PM

Seriously, we've been over spring break, never again and thanksgiving, never again. And although we've not been at Christmas, I've read it's much worse at Christmas time. I don't really see how it can be that enjoyable. You can see all the Christmas decorations without going the last part of December. - DizneyGirl 681.6 #7 6:33PM

my son is going to a week of Boy Scout camp Sunday-Saturday. From a mom of a camper, THANK YOU for your volunteer service at camp! I don't think volunteers hear that enough!! Have a good week! - ncjal 221.8 #33 6:10PM

Awe. I hope your son has a great week at camp too!! It's always an adventure :) - brittandkell 438.4 #441 8:57PM

Hi, not much going on with us. Matt's working and I'm going to my step sisters college graduation on Sunday. We found out last night that Matt's grandfather took a turn for the worse. So were waiting to hear any updates. My inlaws went out there yesterday. So we might be making a trip to Michigan soon. - Schramke

I got mine on Saturday at our local Fry's grocery store. Which in other parts of the country would be Krogers. It was only $19. Which I thought was a good deal - PracticallyPerfectLisa 97.5 #3471 6:28AM
